Removing an internal wall???

[keen2learn]

Hi,

I am contemplating removing the wall between the small bathroom and small toilet to increase the size of the bathroom, my neighbor has done it already( already done when he bought the house) and makes a big difference, the rafters run in the same direction as the wall although the rafters are either side of the wall rather than on the wall I have been in the loft and the wall a single skin block wall and the top layer of blocks are above rafter height, am I right in thinking as they run parallel to the wall it cant be load bearing?

Yep

do you need planning permission or building control sign off for this kind of job?

Nope.

No planning, and no building regs either if the wall isn't structural.

Cheers
